全肠外营养诱导线粒体应激介导的肝细胞凋亡的研究

目的探讨全肠外营养诱导新生乳猪线粒体应激介导的肝细胞凋亡的作用机制。方法以肠内营养乳猪作为对照,建立全肠外营养新生乳猪实验动物模型,喂养7d后获取肝脏组织,分离原代肝细胞,部分肝组织应用琼脂糖凝胶电泳检测肝细胞DNA凋亡条带,通过凋亡蛋白活性测定、免疫组织化学、Western blot印迹法等检测全肠外营养诱导肝细胞发生凋亡的蛋白表达。结果全肠外营养组乳猪肝细胞活率为（49±21）％,明显低于肠内营养组的（88±14）％（P〈0．05）。全肠外营养乳猪肝组织DNA电泳呈现典型梯形凋亡条带,细胞凋亡ELISA检测发现细胞凋亡定量高达对照组的2．6倍,半胱天冬氨酸蛋白酶（caspase）-3活性也明显升高,与肠内营养相比增高9．9倍,但ATP酶活性下降了24％。Westernblot显示全肠外营养组肝组织中相关凋亡蛋白酶PARP、caspase-9和-7蛋白酶原被活化,Bcl-2蛋白表达量下调,Bax蛋白量表达上调;同时线粒体内细胞色素C释放至胞浆内,使胞浆内细胞色素C表达水平升高。免疫组织化学也显示全肠外营养组Bax表达上调。结论全肠外营养可以损伤肝组织,并通过线粒体应激信号传导通路诱导肝细胞凋亡。

早产儿肠内营养新概念

早产儿的营养支持是复杂和具有挑战性的系统工程。在早产儿肠内营养的实施过程中,应基于其生理特点,不仅从营养学而且从促进胃肠功能成熟的角度进行喂养,正确选择适合早产儿的喂养方法和乳类;不仅要关注营养对早期生长发育和对疾病反应方面的影响,更重要的是他们的远期健康。根据目前循证医学研究的证据来更新观念,走出误区,对于指导临床实践,改善早产儿的预后十分必要。

目的:观察胃癌患者围手术期使用中药大黄和肠内营养对TNF-α水平的影响。方法:将56名胃癌围手术期患者随机分为对照组(A组)20例;肠内营养组(B组)21例;大黄加肠内营养组(C组)15例。A组术后常规补液的同时实施肠外营养支持;B组术后常规补液的同时术后42h始给予肠内营养能全力,一直持续到术后第8天;C组病人术前1天应用大黄10g,术后18、42h分2次各5g。B组和C组术后数日内每天的液体量、热量及氮量不足部分均由肠外途径予以补足。所有研究对象分别于手术前1天、手术后第1、3、7天检测外周血肿瘤坏死因子(Tumor Necrosis Factorα,TNF-α)浓度。结果:各组患者术后均有急性炎性反应的发生,但C组术后第3、7天的TNF-α水平较A有显著下降,术后排气、排便时间和肠鸣音的恢复显著提前。术后的营养指标B组、C组患者间无明显差异。结论:胃癌患者围手术期应用大黄可以有效降低外周血TNF-α水平,缓解手术创伤引起的急性炎性反应,促进术后胃肠道功能恢复,有利于实施术后肠内营养支持。     

Short-Term Pilot Study to Evaluate the Impact of Salbi Educa Nutrition App in Macronutrients Intake and Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet: Randomized Controlled Trial

Promoting a healthy diet is a relevant strategy for preventing non-communicable diseases. This study aims to evaluate the impact of an innovative tool, the SAlBi educa nutrition app, in primary healthcare dietary counseling to improve dietary profiles as well as adherence to the Mediterranean diet. A multi-center randomized control trial comprising 104 participants was performed. Both control (n = 49) and intervention (n = 55) groups attended four once-weekly sessions focusing on healthy eating habits and physical activity, over one month. As well as attending the meetings, the intervention group used the app, which provides self-monitoring and tailored dietary advice based on the Mediterranean diet model. In a second intervention (one arm trial), the potential of SAlBi educa was evaluated for three months during the COVID-19 pandemic. At 4 weeks, the intervention group had significantly increased their carbohydrate intake (7.7% (95% CI: 0.16 to 15.2)) and decreased their total fat intake (−5.7% (95% CI: −10.4 to −1.15)) compared to the control group. Significant differences were also found for carbohydrates (3.5% (95% CI: −1.0 to 5.8)), total fats (−5.9% (95% CI: −8.9 to −3.0)), fruits and vegetables (266.3 g/day (95% CI: 130.0 to 402.6)), legumes (7.7g/day (95% CI: 0.2 to 15.1)), starchy foods (36.4 g/day (95% CI: 1.1 to 71.7)), red meat (−17.5 g/day (95% CI: −34.0 to −1.1)), and processed meat (−6.6 g/day (95% CI: −13.1 to −0.1)) intakes during the COVID-19 pandemic. SAlBi educa is a useful tool to support nutrition counseling in primary healthcare, including in special situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Trial registration: ISRCTN57186362.     

How Does the Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program Work? A Theory of Change

Increased fruit and vegetable (FV) intake is associated with decreased risk of nutrition-related chronic diseases. Sociodemographic disparities in FV intake indicate the need for strategies that promote equitable access to FVs. The United States Department of Agriculture’s Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program (GusNIP) supports state and local programs that offer nutrition incentives (NIs) that subsidize purchase of FVs for people participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). While a growing body of research indicates NIs are effective, the pathways through which GusNIP achieves its results have not been adequately described. We used an equity-focused, participatory process to develop a retrospective Theory of Change (TOC) to address this gap. We reviewed key program documents; conducted a targeted NI literature review; and engaged GusNIP partners, practitioners, and participants through interviews, workshops, and focus groups in TOC development. The resulting TOC describes how GusNIP achieves its long-term outcomes of increased participant FV purchases and intake and food security and community economic benefits. GusNIP provides NIs and promotes their use, helps local food retailers develop the capacity to sell FVs and accept NIs in accessible and welcoming venues, and supports local farmers to supply FVs to food retailers. The TOC is a framework for understanding how GusNIP works and a tool for improving and expanding the program.     

Effect of Paternal Diet on Spermatogenesis and Offspring Health: Focus on Epigenetics and Interventions with Food Bioactive Compounds

Infertility is a growing public health problem. Consumption of antioxidant bioactive food compounds (BFCs) that include micronutrients and non-nutrients has been highlighted as a potential strategy to protect against oxidative and inflammatory damage in the male reproductive system induced by obesity, alcohol, and toxicants and, thus, improve spermatogenesis and the fertility parameters. Paternal consumption of such dietary compounds could not only benefit the fathers but their offspring as well. Studies in the new field of paternal origins of health and disease show that paternal malnutrition can alter sperm epigenome, and this can alter fetal development and program an increased risk of metabolic diseases and breast cancer in adulthood. BFCs, such as ascorbic acid, α-tocopherol, polyunsaturated fatty acids, trace elements, carnitines, N-acetylcysteine, and coenzyme Q10, have been shown to improve male gametogenesis, modulate epigenetics of germ cells, and the epigenetic signature of the offspring, restoring offspring metabolic health induced by stressors during early life. This indicates that, from a father’s perspective, preconception is a valuable window of opportunity to start potential nutritional interventions with these BFCs to maximize sperm epigenetic integrity and promote adequate fetal growth and development, thus preventing chronic disease in adulthood.     

Association between early initiation of breastfeeding and reduced risk of respiratory infection: Implications for nonseparation of infant and mother in the COVID‐19 context

Early initiation of breastfeeding, within 1 h of birth, is vital for the health of newborns and reduces morbidity and mortality. Secondary analysis of the 2016 Nepal Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) showed that early initiation of breastfeeding significantly reduced the risk of acute respiratory infection (ARI) in children under 2 years. Early initiation of breastfeeding requires maternal proximity. Separation of infant and mother inhibits early initiation of breastfeeding and increases the risk that infants will suffer from ARIs. However, during the COVID‐19 pandemic, guidance varied, with some recommending that infants and mothers with SARS‐CoV‐2 be isolated from one another. Nepal''s Ministry of Health and Population recommended nonseparation, but the adherence to this guidance was inconsistent. Maternal proximity, nonseparation and early initiation of breastfeeding should be promoted in all birthing facilities.
